…I love old weird fandom drama okay

I love the old weird fandom drama in general but I love it even more as a way of appearing to be “cool” online, finding (as the subculture was once said to be all about) a sense of community and belonging that those after social status can only find in pre-internet ways. It goes well with the sense of classicism that is so deeply engrained in otaku culture and gets moldered away in an internet age of shame and nostalgia.

Here you are, another guy who’s so hoity-toity and decluttered and socially distanced that you can look at old dark inky-darkness violence carried out in circuits of barely controlled fantasy pleasure and still feel welcoming! You don’t even ship it–wait the apocalyptic incest shipping, cute little slice of life shoujo romance fanfiction trash like NGE spoiler baiting drama novels… and here I am, this old nerdy man of the people who reads like a sitcom regular, sharing that need with you! Enjoy the drama! Download my Kindle Singles and tell people I read them…my erotic horror stories 13 years old me couldn’t enjoy so much as speculate about!!!…for free!!!…for I so love old weird fandom drama okay…
